Male Actors From Baltimore
Male (symbol: ♂) is the sex of an organism that produces the gamete (sex cell) known as sperm, which fuses with the larger female gamete, or ovum, in the process of fertilization. A male organism cannot reproduce sexually without access to at least one ovum from a female, but some organisms can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Most male mammals, including male humans, have a Y chromosome, which codes for the production of larger amounts of testosterone to develop male reproductive organs. Not all species share a common sex-determination system. In most animals, including humans, sex is determined genetically; however, species such as ''Cymothoa exigua'' change sex depending on the number of females present in the vicinity. In humans, the word ''male'' can also be used to refer to gender in the social sense of gender role or gender identity. Overview The existence of separate sexes has evolved independently at different times and in different lineages, an example o ...

The EP peaked at number 45 on the ''Billboard'' Heatseekers Albums chart, as well as number 32 on the Independent Albums chart. Critical reception Scott Hreha of ''Pitchfork'' praised ''The Horror'' as "a solid reiteration of Rj's remarkable talent." Sara Jayne Crow of ''XLR8R'' described the EP as "superlatively inhuman in its quality, much like RJD2's production skills". Nathan Rabin of ''The A.V. Club'' said: "Ten tracks of decaying beauty and dirty elegance, ''The Horror'' reaffirms RJD2's standing as one of the most gifted and original producers in underground hip-hop." ''PopMatters'' critic Dave Hamilton highlighted the instrumental tracks, which he felt "perfectly capture why '' Deadringer'' ended up on so many 'best of 2002' lists".
